  • A
    $\tan^{-1}(2)$
  • B
    $\frac{\pi}{6}$
  • C
    $\frac{\pi}{4}$
  • D
    $\tan^{-1}(\frac{1}{2})$

$A$ ball $A$ is projected vertically upwards with a certain initial speed $u$. Another ball $B$ of the same mass is projected at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the vertical with the same initial speed $u$.
